Abstract:
In this era of technology and precision, our lives depend largely on the technological devices which are being developed in various aspects of life, especially those of healthcare. The Types of these devices are increasing every day, but only a few of them support Healthcare System. Although there are other equipments that can be used to monitor human health, still there are difficulties in using these devices in hospitals, for instance the function of electrocardiogram (ECG) is to continuously monitor the patient when he is in the intensive care unit (ICU) at the hospital. This requires the patient to go to hospital for tests to make sure that his heart functions normally. ECG device is medically important and must be available in almost every hospital and it helps doctors to follow patient’s heart condition in ICU.
This thesis illustrates a system to monitor a patient’s heartbeat whether the patient is inside or outside his/her home. This system reads, records and stores the signals by Polar H7 Smart Heart Rate Monitor via Bluetooth communication and in the case of abnormal indications, it sends a warning SMS to doctors for help.The proposed project will use the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) technology to prominently display the signal as a graphic that would be easy for the user to see and a convenient language which were carefully selected to implement the project.Time is a very important element for patients who suffer from a heart condition, So we propose the design of a program to monitor and follow up on cases of cardiac patients remotely using a mobile, It registries notes, send SMS and send medical advice to patients before the risk increased.
